Deuteronomy 28:60
French S21 2007 (Bible Segond 21)
Que signifie ce verset ?
This verse says that God will bring the diseases of Egypt upon you, just like the ones you feared before. Moses is speaking, warning the Israelites about the consequences of disobeying God's commands.
Expliqué aux enfants
Imagine you really didn't like eating vegetables because you thought they were yucky. Then, your mom tells you that if you don't listen to her, you'll have to eat even more vegetables you don't like. That's kind of what Moses is saying here, but instead of vegetables, he's talking about diseases.
Contexte historique
Deuteronomy was written by Moses around 1200 BC, shortly before the Israelites entered the Promised Land. The audience was the Israelites, who had recently been freed from slavery in Egypt. This warning was meant to remind them of the hardships they endured and to encourage obedience to God's laws.
Application pour aujourd'hui
In today's context, this verse can be seen as a reminder that we reap what we sow. For instance, if someone consistently neglects their health, they may face serious diseases later, just as God warned the Israelites about the diseases of Egypt.
